    Be realistic, it's never going to happen, at best we can hope to steer them in the direction of not fucking up the controls by only having the option of Wiimote + Nunchuck.

    Well while it seems an obsure addition to a game of this sort I would not call it a impossible addition.

    The developer is a smaller company, meaning we are able to contact the developing talent much more easily.

    Companies that deal with hundreds and hundreds of projects and franschises, may get fanmail all the time demanding everything from technical support to franchise requests ala Earthbound.

    Here we are contacting a very small developing house which means are suggestions are a bit more accessible.



    Plus, I think we deserve the addition.

    1. For loyal fans of the original
    2. For the fact that the original maracas set us back a lot of money and it would be a gift to get more use out of them.


    3. To keep Samba de Amigo in the vein of the arcade original


    Post or ask and ye shall recieve..........Something ( a email, a response, the addition of DC maracas)

    But it will incur R&D, manufacturing, copyright negotiations, additional costs to them and all for a peripheral for a long dead (commercially outside of Japan) system, when the peripheral wasn't even released in large numbers.

    they know it'll sell fine w/o any special controller arrangments, so i don't believe they ll bother.

    I'm sorry Nitrosoxide but that is just waisting your time. They won't make a adapter for using the maraccas controller, and thus other dreamcast to wii adapter.

    Then you are better of asking them for gamecube controller support, so some homebrewer can make a DC <-> NGC adapter. But also that isn't going to happen.

    However asking them if they can implement a dual-wiimote scheme, that would be possible and logical.

    I agree that a new perphial or a in-house developers converter would be out of the question. But, perhaps simply gamecube controller support would not.

    well then perhaps make a request for gamecube controller support. I think that would be feasible. And not a complete waste of time. I've been reading their boards and the guys seems fairly friendly .

    I also like the Two Wiimote idea. So anyone with a ISP email go ahead and make these thoughts heard on their boards. Or email them.
